It's done. I have officially consolidated. I ordered the Summit last week and listed the last of my other grills. I brought my WSM to a buddy's house Sunday and coincidentally the performer sold last night at the same time I was doing my first summit cook.

Glad you're making moves Charlie. Sometimes its hard to consolidate, but as they say: "happy wife, happy life."

Plus its all for upgrading to a Summit...pretty sweet. Congrats!

Thanks Mike. I'm sad to see them go. The performer was a work horse for two years and my 26 and my WSM were both steals on Craigslist that both were great for big cooks.

After one cook I can see how the summit does all that the WSM and performer can do and allows me to cook more neatly as it's self contained. The only thing I'll miss is a the portability of the 26. I brought on vacation and cooked my tail for a week and it did it all. If I can find one on craigslist again cheap, I would grab another and keep in the garage for travel/tailgates. Until then I have a plain old 22" OTS that I can throw in the trunk if i need to.
